Julian Assange On The U.S. Election

I have to admit that I only watched snippets of this 24 minute video interview but it included some truly chilling moments when the man behind WikiLeaks shared some of the things he's learned from the hundreds of thousands of emails he's had access to. One thing he pointed out that nobody reports is that WikiLeaks released more than 800,000 documents about Russia.

From another source, some more snippets of the interview:

Julian Assange: If you look at the history of the FBI, it has become effectively America's political police. The FBI demonstrated this by taking down the former head of the CIA over classified information given to his mistress. Almost no-one is untouchable. The FBI is always trying to demonstrate that no-one can resist us. But Hillary Clinton very conspicuously resisted the FBI's investigation, so there’s anger within the FBI because it made the FBI look weak. We've published about 33,000 of Clinton's emails when she was Secretary of State. They come from a batch of just over 60,000 emails, Clinton has kept about half – 30,000 -- to herself, and we've published about half.

And

JA: I actually feel quite sorry for Hillary Clinton as a person because I see someone who is eaten alive by their ambitions, tormented literally to the point where they become sick; they faint as a result of to their ambitions. She represents a whole network of people and a network of relationships with particular states. The question is how does Hilary Clinton fit in this broader network? She's a centralising cog. You’ve got a lot of different gears in operation from the big banks like Goldman Sachs and major elements of Wall Street, and Intelligence and people in the State Department and the Saudis.
